About

SECORA™ Blockchain

SECORA™Blockchain is an easy-to-use Java Card™ solution that provides best-in-class security for blockchain system integration according to common criteria EAL 6+ standards. It can be used to generate and manage private keys that allow users to securely access blockchains.

SECORA™ Blockchain security solution comprises chip hardware and chip software featuring our Integrity Guard security technology, and an antenna for contactless communication.

Available in a variety of form factors, SECORA Blockchain enables easy blockchain design and smooth integration with client systems for a wide range of commodities. In turn, SECORA™ Blockchain technology can support increased security within non-fungible token (NFT) and object identity, and object/physical or personal identification in the blockchain to offer greater protection across all types of transactions.

Secured brand protection and authenticity of luxury goods

Infineon's SECORA™ blockchain security solution enables brand manufacturers to address the problem of counterfeiting. Thanks to our range of different form factors and contactless interfaces, it can be easily integrated into a wide variety of products and goods. With an NFC-enabled phone, consumers can verify the authenticity of the brand while tracing the entire supply chain. 

System approach:

  • Infineon’s SECORA™ Blockchain security solution generates a key pair for assessing the blockchain
  • A chip is integrated into a (luxury) product, e.g., sneakers
  • The block42 App (iPhone, Android) reads the chip using NFC and connects to the blockchain to prove product authenticity and supply chain compliance
  • A public blockchain stores the product reference

Benefits:

  • Prevent product tampering
  • Reliable check for product authenticity
  • Proof of supply chain compliance and uniqueness of limited editions
  • Transparent second-hand selling
  • Shared ownership models
Blockchain in a nutshell

Blockchain can be described as a decentralized digital ledger system that manages a continuously growing list of data points (chain of blocks). Every block in the chain is cryptographically linked to the previous one. Therefore, to change one block, an attacker would have to change the entire chain. All transactions or data points are protected by a digital signature, making it extremely difficult to change or alter them.

Depending on the use case, blockchain transactions can be triggered by people or machines/devices (cars, infrastructure devices, etc.). Typically, all participants can access and verify all data, including the full history of a blockchain. In many applications, this eliminates the need for a central “trusted” authority as well as trust between the participants.

Secured user access to the blockchain is key

Blockchain system success hinges on secured user access to the distributed database. If an attacker gains access to the highly confidential credentials of another user, the attacker would have full control over that blockchain account (currency, assets, ID, and contracts, etc.). Similarly, if users lose their credentials, they lose access to all blockchain assets and can no longer use or valorize them. Additionally, transactions and operations stored in a blockchain cannot be simply undone.

In summary, credentials for blockchain access call for the highest possible protection and security. Hardware-based security tokens from Infineon are the most effective way against attacks and unauthorized access.
